An extensive 2017 review [37] describes effects of exercise on the brain due to (1) DNA methylation, (2) histone acetylation, (3) histone methylation, and (4) microRNA expression, and the consequences of these alterations on learning and memory . Generally, the reviews found that exercise had positive effects on cognition, including enhanced ...
